    Tail lights and dash lights not working

    I have a 1994 GMC Yukon and the tail lights and the dashlights quit working. I have replaced the fuse, even though it looked good, and tried a new head light switch, that did not fix the problem. Where do i go next?

    Carb issue (yes I searched)

    Okay, so I got the cruiser running yesterday to move it into the garage. (It's waiting for paint and a bunch of other stuff). So as I'm priming the carb, and fiddling around I notice that I'm pumping gas out of the side of my carb (drivers side, a little needle with a couple of rubber...

    Ready for paint need advice

    Okay, maybe the paint and body section is a better place, but all of those guys are redoing their 40's and I wanted some 60 series opinion. I have spent countless hours sanding and filling and pounding to get my rig as straight as I can in my driveway. I have access to a spray booth and really...

    What did I screw up?

    As part of my desmog I took my air rail out tonight. After I got everything put back together, my truck will not idle, and my choke won't move. I ran out of daylight before I could tear it back apart. Anybody have any ideas?

    Rotw: Fowldarr

    So, It's my turn, I have to start by saying how humbled I am by some of the other ROTW entries. I was really hoping to have more done on my cruiser before my turn came up. The computer with all my good wheeling pics died, I have a friend trying to resurrect them, and I will hopefully post them...

    Smog Pump

    Well, it finally happened. My smog pumped seized. My PS pump has been pissing on it for months. So, now my question, do I plunge into the desmog, and strip it all out and make it a heavy pulley? Or is it too late for that since it already seized. Before I get a bunch of crap about...

    bedliner on roof

    Title says it all. I'm thinking about doing it. Why? I'm doing the body work, and I start noticing that the roof has already been done at least once. And somebody got a little happy with the grinder. I figure the thick coating with texture will hide these scrapes pretty easily, whereas...

    Valve Adjustment - More Noise

    So I did my first valve adjustment a couple or three weekends ago. Since then there has been a slight tick that has gotten louder, increases with rpm's. I'm sure that I tightened everything back down, or did I? I'm really getting worried about it. I have a friend who is very mechanically...

    Ok, so I finally got a chance to tear into my 60 this weekend, it was not the head gasket, and I would like to thank whoever, pulled me out of the recesses of doom and gloom and reminded me to check the basics first. Turns out, my radiator hadn't been "burped" and when I topped it off, I didn't...

    Getting ready for the rebuild

    So my 84 cruiser is getting tired after almost 290,000 miles and I am hoping to swing the funds from tax returns for the rebuild. I was quoted $1500-$2000 give or take from the local machine shop that has done 2f work (not specialist, but you take what you can get when you live in Idaho). That...
